About the Contentful Connector

Features

  • Enables searching for Entries stored in a Contentful space.
  • Content to be indexed can be filtered by Content Type
  • All content remains in the space. 

Security

The Connector only returns Published Entries. All items indexed will be marked as Public.

Limitations

  • Only Published items are returned. 
  • Location field values are returned as coordinates
  • Entry comments are not retrieved
  • The escabase_url metadata displays the source system URL and not the Contentful Preview URL.
  • Because the Preview URL is highly customizable in Contentful we recommend using scripting to generate the URL metadata to match the Preview URL using a base URL and metadata.

Metadata

All fields added in the Content Model are returned as metadata. 

You must run a Datastore Types Load task to pick up changes made to the Content Model. 

Metadata property Value Type Description
ID String The ID of the Entry
ContentType String The Content Type of the Entry
Tags String multi value Tags assigned to an Entry
Title String The value of the field assigned as the Title Field for the Content Type
